Google photo QA: How to get back the dismissed card 'Rediscover this day'?

I accidentally have deleted 'Rediscover this day' card. How do i get that card back? I already have checked this card in 'View Unsaved Creations' option in Assistant. The card is not present there.

Answer:

Hi Hrishikesh,

if the dismissed Rediscover This Day card is not in the unsaved creations section https://photos.google.com/unsaved or in the Assistant https://photos.google.com/assistant it's unfortunately not possible to recover it. As a workaround, if you remember what day it was you may manually make a collage from that day's photos.

Just in case anyone still needs to know how to recover an accidentally dismissed Rediscover this day creation. For me I did it by swiping it off screen on my phone. I wanted it back and could not find a way to restore it on my phone. So, I went to my PC and recovered it the following way.

1. Open Google photo's webpage at https://photos.google.com/

2. Click on the For You option on the left. This will display all of your Rediscover this day creations. The URL will change to https://photos.google.com/u/1/foryou

3. Change the above URL to https://photos.google.com/u/1/unsaved. This will put you in to Unsaved or dismissed creations area.

This is where I found my accidentally dismissed creation. I was then able to click on the created collage and save the creation.

1. Open Google photo's webpage at https://photos.google.com/

2. Click on the For You option on the left. This will display all of your Rediscover this day creations. The URL will change to https://photos.google.com/u/1/foryou

3. Change the above URL to https://photos.google.com/u/1/unsaved. This will put you in to Unsaved or dismissed creations area.

This is where I found my accidentally dismissed creation. I was then able to click on the created collage and save the creation.

my account was accessed by someone else, this person has deleted my photos from the past 3 days and emptied the trash can. I changed my password to prevent this, but I was still logged in on my mobile phone. The items were deleted a half hour ago. Can they be restored??

Answer:

Hello Carine,

Thanks for posting in the Google Photos Support Community.

Google Photos is already private because it is secured with your Google Account credentials. It shouldn't be a case where some one else has the access to your Google Photos and Google Account, until you haven't shared your login credentials with anyone.

I'd recommend changing your Google Account password to secure your account. To access your backed up photos log on to photos.google.com on your desktop computer (web) or Google Photos app on any other compatible device.

If a photo/s is deleted from Google Photos, it would go to Trash/Bin for the next 60 days (after deletion). Unfortunately, if the photos aren't found in Trash or deleted from Trash, I'm afraid, you might not find them else where to recover them because Trash is the last resort to retrieve your lost/deleted photos.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Amanda

Sign out and sign back in to Google Photos with the same Google Account.
Clear App data:

Open your device's Settings app (not the Google Settings app).
Touch Apps.
Select Google Photos in the list.

Answer:

So I just did all of that including uninstalling and it didn't work. :( does she have to be signed in to a google account? She doesn't have one. She uses something different.

Answer:

I am having the same issue. The album is shared between two android users. I am the owner of the album and cannot see the photos that the other person has uploaded. When I share the link to others they can see the photos we have both uploaded. I also cannot see the photos the other person added when I am on my computer.

Thank you for your help.

Answer:

I fixed the problem. I found out my Dad could add photos fine and I could see them. The difference was my mom did NOT have a gmail. I set one up for her and now I can see them just fine. Make sure everyone that you invited has a gmail email address!

Question: Retrieve photos

Retrieve deleted photos

Hello Stephy,

Welcome to the Google Photos Support Community.

If you've deleted them from Google Photos and want to restore them, please know that photos/videos deleted from the Google Photos library, goes to the Trash for the next 60 days. So, in case, you deleted it by mistake you can always restore it from Trash folder within those 60 days (post deletion). But, if you don't find it in Trash, probably it must have been deleted more that 60 days ago. Unfortunately, restoring your lost/deleted photos and videos from Trash is the last resort.

Getting annoyed with this now. I am paying for this service and it can't process my videos within a few minutes. The video is 10 seconds for god sake... Going to be looking at switching services at this rate.

Answer:

First, try to download the videos from another browser. If Photos works properly in the other browser, on the original browser try this:

On your computer, navigate to Google Photos (photos.google.com) and be sure you are signed in to the Google Account that is giving you trouble.
Now click on the Account Picture icon that identifies you (circle image or icon) in the upper-right of screen, and select Sign Out.
Next follow the instructions at this link: Clear Cache & Cookies.
Shut down and then restart your computer.
Navigate again to Google Photos (photos.google.com) and sign back into your Google Account.

Let me know if this helps (and if it does please select the Recommend button below this post so that others can more easily find the solution to similar problems).

Answer:

@Peter: Although this may not help, I had the same issue with videos for over a week and then, one day, the logjam cleared and I could download again. Not saying that you'll be that lucky for sure, but one way or the other, I think you'll regain access to the videos.

That said, let's keep troubleshooting. How old is the computer you're trying to download from? If the answer is a few years old or more (even if running up-to-date software) that sometimes causes a bottleneck particularly with videos. So if you have access to a newer computer with multiple browsers, I suggest you try to download from that on at least two browsers just to narrow what the problem may be on the computer you're using now.

Also, I wonder whether you have these problems with all your videos stored in Google Photos. If so, see if you identify a pattern among those that don't work. In any case, try to upload a new, test video (at least 30 seconds long) and see if that plays and downloads properly.

Let me know what you find out.

Answer:

Brand new 8th gen i7. Tried edge and chrome with same results. This video was long @ just over 21 min, 1080p. I uploaded 10 videos. All those lt 9 minutes were downloadable next day at latest. The long one took a week!

Answer:

The servers likely just suffered a glitch with the long one. I wouldn't guess you'd have similar problems with new longer videos, but can't be sure of course.

Answer:

having this exact issue now, thought it might be because I'm doing it via my android p30 pro handset, but theres no option to create the movie via the web photos.google.com either. So I'm just in limbo waiting.

Everytime I click on the video on the phone, goes into 'edit state' , online it says 'video still processing'

Answer:

Just adding my incident to the list: I have a 1:06 long video from May 2017 that gives me this message when attempting download. For me, it became apparent when I was downloading hundreds of photos/videos from the past several years and the downloaded count was always one less than the number selected. Quite a bit of time to find the errant file.

Question: What if i wanted to put all my pictures back to my device, how do I do it in one shot?

I need all my photos back on my device

Hello Crystal,

Welcome to the Google Photos Support Community.

If you're trying to download the backed up Google Photos photos back to your device and it's a huge amount of photos and videos to download, you can use google.com/takeout to export your data, you will have to extract the archive and manually transfer/download it to your device or external storage device.

You could use takeout via your mobile device as well, but you may have to source a program to decompress the archive and you also need to ensure you have enough space on the device to fit your entire library. By doing this, the photos from cloud will get downloaded to your phone.

But if it's few photos, you can also manually download them. here's how you can do so:

Open the Google Photos app on your Android device.
Sign in to it.
Select the photo you want to download.
Click on Download/Save to device.

Keep me posted.

Amanda

Hello Bill,

Thanks for posting in the Google Photos Support Community.

This message usually pops up when a card was dismissed by you after it was auto created by Google Photos assistant. Have you dismissed any assistant card in Google Photos?

If yes and if it pops up over and again, simply sign out of Google Photos and sign back in with the same Google Account to check if that sorts the issue.

I'd like to use the faces I tag on the photos app in android to automatically fill in the picture field on my devices contacts app, only on the entries registered under my Google account.

If both the contact and the photo I tag are already saved on Google's servers, couldn't Google link that information so that my native contacts app would retrieve that when syncing my contacts.

A simple way of implementing could be, upon tagging a face, suggesting Google saved contacts instead of local contacts as it does now. I think anyway, I'm no coder..

Had lots of photos uploaded in High Quality not Original. Have now upgraded my storage and want to re-upload all photos as 'Original Size'. Was told by Google I'd have to delete photos, and then re-upload the originals. I have just begun this process which is going to take ages, and it doesn't seem to be uploading the Original Size? E.g - a photo on my computer says it's 149KB, but still appears in Google Photos as 81KB.

As far as I know I have no synchs set up etc.

I'm about to give up with this and try backing up my photos elsewhere. To have to go through thousands of different folders of photos, delete and then re-upload is going to take way too much time :(

Anyone have any ideas?

Answer:

After deleting you also need to empty the trash on Google Photos to prevent problems.

See https://photos.google.com/trash

But an 150 KB file can't be seen as good picture: that should be 1.5 MB at least. So perhaps it are abnormal files for Google Photos which always will get compressed.

You may attach such a non-private file to your next post, then we can check also.

And why do you have "thousands" of different folders? A neat collection has 15 yearfolders from start with the first digital camera and a few special folders with historic stuff etc.

But with such an amount you only can use the Backup & Sync app - then all will get synced to Drive (without taking storage there) and their content will get uploaded to Photos as a stream without folders.

Answer:

@Irena

"I'm about to give up with this and try backing up my photos elsewhere."

I think that this is the best advice I could give you. Use Google Photos in High Quality for viewing everywhere and for sharing, and have one or two backups elsewhere.

Question: I can't find my yesterday photos at 19/06/2018

My photo's

Hello Ankit,

Thanks for posting in the Google Photos Help Forum.

It can be possible that the photos weren't uploaded successfully to Google Photos (cloud) and also make sure you're logged in to Google Photos with the same Google Account that you used during the backup. Photos/videos that are not synced or backed up, will still appear in Google Photos and will have this icon

(which means not synced/backed up) or some photos/videos will also show up with the two arrows in a circle mean backup is in progress.

Once the upload is complete there will be no icon on any photos/videos. Often, many of us misinterpret that they are all backed up because the photos/videos show up in Google Photos and we over see the icons on each photo/video. If the photos/videos weren't backed up they cannot be deleted from the Google Photos library nor Trash.

In case, you are uploading a large amount of data (photos/videos), please know that it might take 24-48 hours for the photos and videos to sync across all devices. Please ensure to have 'Backup & sync' enabled on the Google Photos settings while you're backing up your photos and videos. To check is the content is backed up, login in to photos.google.com to checked for your backed up photos and videos.

However, if you're sure they were backed up, I recommend you looking for your video here:

Meanwhile, also try giving the below steps a try once again in a sequence to help resolve the issue:

Photo Remove

When I click "Add partner account" I see no suggestion. Is it possible that you get the suggestion with account X because that account already shares with you ? If that is the case you can only share with that account.

Answer:

in google photos>assistant>press '=' >add partner account>Get started, than you can show suggestions (in a form of name and mail id). I never share any account before.

Answer:

Sorry, I did not click "Get started". I see 8 suggested names, probably based on recent activity.

I tested this for the "Sharing" button, and similarly there are on top 8 names/addresses from recent activity. I managed to replace them by 8 others by inviting 8 other persons. I guess it is the same when you try to share your library. I have no idea whether (like in the sharing button) there should be all your contacts also. In any case: you can simply type the email.

My google drive is almost full.

how i know that the content is already synced to my google photos from google drive-> google photos folder.

so i can free up google drive storage occupied.

can i blindly delete the google photos folder from google drive? If i does so, is there any data(images/videos) loss which may not be in google photos?

Answer:

The optional Google Photos folder takes no storage and will be correctly filled until about July 10 when Google did stop with servicing.

So it makes no sense to remove that folder unless you have filled that folder yourself which was wrong use.

Look at one.google.com/storage where the pain really is.

If at Photos indeed you should decide about paying for more storage or to compress all via the Recover storage button on photos.google.com/settings: then Google will convert all to High Quality for zero storage (can take a day until the button becomes grey).

Question: how do i take incremental backup of photos on a daily basis?

Google photos folder in Google drive does not get created though 'Auto add' feature is enabled.

Open the Google Photos App on your phone

, then go to Menu

, Settings

, then Back Up & Sync and turn on Backup & Sync.

Let me know if this helps (and if it does please select the Recommend button below this post so that others can more easily find the solution to similar problems).

Answer:

Even if it would work (don't understand why not - maybe you need to be more patient until Google does his job during the next weeks), it would be no safe backup because the contents stays synchronised with Google Photos - so any deletions on either side will sync to the other side also.

If it would work, the contents gets divided over automatic year- and month-folders and not in day-folders.

But you don't even need the Auto-add function, because you can download a daily selection straight from Google Photos to your computer and will become a zip named Photos - so you need to change that general name into a date-name after unzipping (then the zip can be deleted).

Then you have a safe backup which can be copied to external disc.

But of course you want everything automatic :-)

Answer:

Auto add function on Drive does not have anything to with Backup & Sync directly, but you first must have pictures on Google Photos before you may expect any pictures on Drive.

My apologies. I responded to the title of your post while your question in the text is different. To create a Google Photos folder in Google Drive, go into Settings of Google Drive and select the option to create such a folder. A warning, though, this folder will not truly sync with Google Photos, though deletions from one will delete from other, so best not to manually manipulate that folder once created.

If this helps, please select Recommend below this post so other users can find the answer more easily.

Answer:

Can't you read that you have to be patient - maybe you need to have at least 1000 pictures at Google Photos before Google is taken you seriously :-)

Answer:

I have set the option to create the 'Google Photos' folder, but no success

On your phone, in the Google Drive App, check to see that you are signed into the same email account as your Google Photos App uses. If it is, and you still don't see the Google Photos folder in the Google Drive App:

Give it an hour or so, then on a computer (not your phone) navigate to drive.google.com, sign into the same account you use for Google Photos, then check My Drive (not Laptop or Computer) for a folder called Google Photos. If it's there, but not on your phone, go back to your phone and on the Google Drive App, sign out of your account, then back into it.

Let me know if this helps, and, to benefit other users, please mark this response as Recommend if it does.

Question: How do I add more faces to the people section of Google photos?

Hi

The function of recognizing and adding people is automatic, and only the Assistant can do this, it is not possible to do this manually. But you can send feedback for the Photos team so they take note of your wish.
